A review by cherrykois
Adelaide by Genevieve Wheeler

4.0

I’ll start of by prefacing that this is NOT a love story, it’s not a romance at all. It’s compelling, it's heartbreaking, it's raw and more than anything it's real. To see her journey navigating mental illness, depression, and grief to survival and healing was just wonderful. I think as a woman, all of us have either been Adelaide or have known Adelaide. I wanted to scream at her so many times, and others wrapped my arms around her and never let her go. My heart hurt reading Adelaide's story and I applaud the author for writing this debut so well, it’s written beautifully.

If you’ve ever been madly in love with the wrong person or if you’re in your 20s and ever felt lost, this one is for you! The underlying message of the story is to take charge of your life and prioritize your mental health. It's all about putting yourself first and how life goes on.
